    Hi,

    I've modified the out now to look something like

    $ php -v
    PHP 4.3.0-dev (cli)
    Zend Engine v1.2.1, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies

    Derick suggested also to add some other internal version
    numbers like module about for both PHP and Zend.

    We just need to come up with a decent description of the
    various numbers:

    ZEND_EXTENSION_API_NO
    ZEND_MODULE_API_NO
    PHP_VERSION_API

How about use the macro names? For example, programmers may try to find . -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep -n "PHP_VERSION_API" to see how API version macros are used. -- Yasuo Ohgaki

    Note that the description should not be ambiguous with the
    existing two ones so shell scripts don't have a hard time
    parsing the requested version number.

Shouldn't we move the Zend Engine version output to php -v too and let -m only list the modules -v only all the version numbers ?

Sounds like a good idea to me, and then we can also output the 3 different kidns of API NOs to php -v output. Derick
